Larry J. Strauss, B2B CFO®
Providing CFO services in Vail, CO and surrounding areas

Upon a recommendation from my friend John Leonetti, www.pinnacleequitysolutions.com, I started following Rob Slee through his weekly Midas Moments. This week’s Midas Moment quoted a Warren Buffet proposition to end the deficit. Buffet said, “”I could end the deficit in 5 minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.” Unfortunately, Rob points out no candidates running for office have endorsed or even discussed such a law.

I have found Rob’s writing to be thought provoking and would suggest private business owners check out his site, www.midasnation.com, and consider signing up for his weekly messages. I have also read two of his books, Midas Managers and Midas Marketing,  published in 2007 and 2009, respectively. While I enjoyed both, I would suggest reading Midas Marketing first. It provides numerous ideas about marketing in our current global economy which can be implemented by most business owners. I believe the time is now to start managing businesses differently. I plan to share some ideas with my clients to begin the discussions on developing alternative strategies. I doubt our economy will ever again be like it was prior to 2008. Things have changed and business owners must change strategies and tactics to achieve their goals.
